  1. No mention that the club level people will be sitting on concrete? It's sad to see the turf removed where so many memorable plays were made, but I guess it was time. Glad I took the tour and got to walk on it last summer. I hope they paint the new one right.
  2. I don't care if he was conceived at the 50-yard line at Three Rivers Stadium and raised in an apartment at Heinz Field, next door the Stealers locker room. As a member of the Bengals family, you do not associate with or wear the colors of that franchise, much less take actions to help them win games. I will forever be pissed at one of my all time favorite players for this (Ken Anderson).
  3. Sadly, the logo and colors are not changing. I've also heard rumors that the shoulder panels on the side are going to have mountains on them. I shit you not. Getting rid of the 90s side panels and other craziness will be an improvement, but it sounds like an overall failure is in the works.
  4. Well, the league has never had any problems with rules that involve the "subjectivity of the call", now, has it? I'm confident that every official will see it the same way and call it the same way every play, every game, and that point spreads will, in no way, enter into the decision-making process.
  5. I just don't get this one, AT ALL. The current trend is (thankfully) toward brighter colors, and this is going the opposite direction, eliminating the red numbers. Royal blue with generous amounts of red would have worked so much better. Glad I'm not a Texans fan.
  6. That 1980 team was a lot better than they get credit for, and that season was a foreshadowing of what would happen in 1981. They started 0-2 with losses by 5 points and 1 point, then defeated the defending champion Stealers, who came in at 2-0. The Bengals had been 2-8 against them the previous five seasons. They followed that up with two more losses, by 3 points and 5 points to drop to 1-4, setting up a Week 6 rematch with Pittsburgh, who was now 4-1. The Bengals beat them yet again, this time at Three Rivers, meaning that at that point, the 2-4 Bengals' only two wins were against Pittsburgh and 4-2 Pittsburgh's only two losses were against the Bengals. The Bengals four losses were by a combined 14 points. They were a good team that found a way to lose in the end. After a 14-0 shutout of the Vikings, they were 3-4 and it looked like a first winning season in three years could be possible, but five straight blowout losses put them at 3-9 and it looked like a third straight 4-12 was in the works. They did win three more straight to get to 6-9 before losing a close one at home to Cleveland in Week 16. That was the game Pat McInally got injured on a cheap hit - I'll bet some of you remember it. Does anyone remember if there were extenuating circumstances (injuries?) that led to that five-game losing streak? There was a night and day difference in their performance for those five games compared to the other 11 games.
  7. Yeah that's what I was thinking (and hoping). It hadn't even occurred to me to be worried about Burrow's career until I saw that, and it was kinda stomach-turning. I guess that's exactly the reaction he was seeking.
  8. It's hard to imagine that an NFL franchise would have these conditions, assuming it's true. They could've temporarily solved the outlets problem with one of these, and plumbing is easy enough to fix, no? (I'm guessing this is the first time a picture of an extension cord has been posted on this site. 😄)
  9. The leaping tiger and the head are good logos, but they'd be better if they'd turn them around to face the same direction as almost every other logo in sports (except for the Eagles, who do the same thing). Yes, they look a bit odd, but only because we've been used to them being backwards for so long.
  10. All the replies to the various tweets about the new turf are saying that this stuff causes more injuries, which seems to contradict the press release. Can someone go against the Twitter grain and reassure me that Burrow and other top players aren't going down with ACL injuries by week 4?
  11. There was perfect symmetry before the stupid 17th game was added: four divisions (per conference) of four teams and four 4-game fourths to the season schedule. And there was history. You could compare each team's season with the record of teams past. Now there is no accurate comparison. It's apples and oranges, or something.
